Gas and Solid Fuel Heating

Guide to the servicing and safety of gas appliances in your home

As a landlord, Cannock Chase Council has a legal duty to ensure that regular safety checks are carried out to all gas appliances and installations to all tenanted properties, together with ongoing maintenance and repairs.

The "Guide to the servicing and safety of gas appliances in your home" leaflet forms part of the Gas Safety Management and Procedures Manual and are provided to raise awareness to the Council's adopted procedures and any safety issues, please see below.

Important Safety Notice for Tenants

Tenants are alerted to the bulletin below which has been the subject of a national press campaign. Some tenants may have been issued this type of fan heater since January 2014 by the Council’s Gas Maintenance Contractor, P.H.Jones.

Should this be the case, can you please check the heater(s) supplied and if they are of the same type, please do not use them and discard as appropriate. Should repairs to your central heating be required in the future which warrants the issue of temporary heating, new fan heaters will be supplied at that time.
